Press release from the Township of Whitemarsh:

October 22, 2021

The Board of Supervisors last week voted to advertise an ordinance that would authorize the acquisition of a property at 4046 Butler Pike.

The 2.71-acre parcel is located in the Plymouth Meeting Historic District and is adjacent to the Abolition Hall property. The Township entered into an agreement of sale to purchase the Abolition Hall property in April. 

The property has a single-family home on it that is now vacant and in disrepair. The ordinance would authorize the acquisition for $810,000. The Township would use Act 153 Open Space funds for the purchase. 

The ordinance will come before the Supervisors at its meeting on November 4. If approved, the Township anticipates settlement before the end of the year.
